Duck for Turkey Day
Tuyet is excited for Thanskgiving! She tells her mother that it is time to buy a turkey, but when she learns that her family will be having duck instead, Tuyet is very worried. It's Turkey Day, not Duck Day! When it comes time to tell the class what she ate for Turkey Day, Tuyet is in for a special surprise. This heartwarming story is a beautiful reminder of the unique ways we each celebrate our own traditions.
I would like to thank you for an incredible, accessible and very relevant site for school professionals and parents. I pass it along to all my students and
research sites I work with.
